Hello all, this is my first post here, apologies if it is in the wrong place, of if you have seen me ask this on another forum, i find that some people prefer certain forum's but i need generic advice so the more the better in my opinion!

I have bought a 5 door Mk6 Finesse and want to put ST seats into it, can anyone tell me whether or not this is a straight swap or will they not fit? Aside from adopting an entirely useless reclining function i can't see why they shouldn't unless they are a different size!

Thanks for your time

Welcome! I would have thought it would be a straight fit to be honest, cant really see Ford mounting seats in two different ways for the same car. But I could always be wrong. Why ST seats specifically? They're ok, but not exactly the world comfiest seat...

I just like the look of them really and i'm used to driving in recaro's so the side bolsters are nice! Duncan what seats would you go for? The finesse ones are a horrible fabric which just look not nice! I know what you mean, but i wasn't sure if the dimensions were different but i can't see why they would make it hard for themselves!

I don't have an answer to your question but I think I would opt for different seats myself if I had to spend the money ...

Hooray! .. At last someone else agrees with me

I have always said the ST seats are very uncomfortable, but nobody else seemed to have a problem with them .. beginning to think it was just me ..

Love the car but the seats are probably the worst part of it in my opinion, they look OK just so long as you don't actually want to sit in them and drive the car! ..

Mine were always fine, always found the seats in my sisters mini highly uncomfortable and hard

Would think the focus seats would be nicer to have, but never really liked the look of them

The side bolsters are useless and unsupportive during a spirited drive I think.

If you wanted to keep it ford, I think it is possible to get some of the focus seats in there. As Adam said, they're not really the prettiest but they are supposed to be comfortable. I'm currently in the middle of haggling for a set of these



To be fair though, there are a bit more pricey than a set of seats...
